Cape Coast, Sept. 10, GNA – The Gyaasehen of
Gomoa Akramang in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region, Nana Egyir
Ahor I, was on Monday shot dead in his home.
The Central Regional Police Public Relations
Officer, Deputy Superintendent of Police Irene Oppong, confirmed the incident
to the Ghana News Agency.
She said the Kasoa Divisional Police Command
received a distress call from Gomoa Akramang about the incident and responded.
According to the Police, Nana Egyir Ahor I
alias Osibo was attacked by a mob from the Akramang community after he
allegedly shot and injured someone in the community on Sunday evening.
She said the police proceeded to the
scene only to find the body of Nana Egyir Ahor in a pool of blood in front of
his house.
“The town was almost vacated and the
few we met refused to give any information. However the police gathered that
there was a long land dispute between the late Gyasehene and the people of
Akramang,” DSP Oppong told the GNA.
She said the body had since been deposited
at the Police Hospital Morgue awaiting post mortem whilst the injured person,
whose name was only given as ‘Russia’ is receiving treatment at the Winneba
Trauma Hospital.
